Flag Football spices up Run BGC 2011 marathon

MANILA, Philippines - This year’s Bonifacio Global City’s Run BGC introduces a category with Flag Football when it is held Nov. 27 with a big field expected to see action.

Now on its third year, Run BGC will have five race categories with male and female divisions, including 3k, 3k with Flag Football, 5k, 5k with Flag Football and 10km.

In the categories with Flag Football, the race starts with a run, then moves to an individual play of catching a football while defending flags fitted on a belt and shifts back to a run to the finish line.

Cash prizes and medals await the top three placers of each race category.

Spicing up the event is a raffle draw which offers a four-day/three-night Australian tour for two. The winner can also join any of the Australian-based marathon or fun run: the Sydney City to Surf 2012; Gold Coast Airport Marathon and Half Marathon; or the Great Ocean Road International Marathon.

Prize is convertible to cash but non-transferrable. All runners who have completely registered and finished the race in any categories are entitled to join the raffle.

Deadline for listup is on Nov. 20 at Toby’s/Runnr (Shangri-La Plaza, Bonifacio High Street, and SM Mall of Asia), Planet Sports (Trinoma Mall and Glorietta3), and at The Athlete’s Foot (Robinson’s Galleria and Alabang Town Center).
